Making Sense of Modern Art
  Making Sense of Modern Art


  In September 2002, SFMOMA was awarded a three-year leadership grant in the Museums Online category by the federal Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The Museum’s program, Bridging the Gap: From Real Art to Virtual Learning, is a series of innovative programs designed to bridge the gap between visitors’ direct experience of artworks in SFMOMA’s collection and the Museum’s growing catalog of multimedia learning resources devoted to the ideas, contexts, and histories of artworks and artists in our collections.

Bridging the Gap expands and builds on SFMOMA’s core interactive learning program, Making Sense of Modern Art, and on eight years of experience with educational multimedia and curriculum development. In SFMOMA’s new Koret Visitor Education Center, in the Museum’s galleries, and on the World Wide Web, the programs funded by this grant will focus on two distinct audiences: adult museum visitors and students and teachers in grades 9-12.
